This health indicator determines when a database backup is required based on the time elapsed and amount of data changed since the last backup.

An attention alert might be generated to indicate that a database backup is required. Database backups can be automated by setting the AUTO_DB_BACKUP database configuration parameter to ON. If automatic database backups are enabled, the attention alert indicates that one or more automatic database backups did not complete successfully.
